Origami it is... or is it?

I am Mac girl. An Apple lover. A woman who digs her devices... in (most) all flavors. But for the most part, I like to say I'm a loyally fruity gal.

With that in mind, and this new mystery hype on Micosoft's Origami project, I can't help but wonder what will land upon us on March 2nd. I can't remember the last big WOW project coming out of Bill's corner. However, I haven't been paying a whole lot of attention.

Reading Robert Scoble's comments, I had to giggle....
"Kent Newsome asks 'will it walk the walk'

Whenever hype gets ahead of an announcement, the answer has to be: no.

But, then, you gotta realize that I totally agree with Joe Wilcox who says that the best companies underpromise and overdeliver. Now, did see that link? I'll save you the click.. "Apple consistently does this well--and did so, again, yesterday." and "Apple rarely widely beta tests products. Version one typically is good enough." That's an article from February 15th about the MacBook Pro notebooks.

And then Scoble adds in....

"Maybe I should have posted that no one will want an Origami and that it sucks raw potatoes."

So now he is over stating by overly understating...
And how exactly does one suck a raw potatoe? I'm not even sure that sounds kinky. More like a baseball meet one's front tooth, Oh yeah, I want an Origami! I know they will ROCK!

WORD of the DAY: BOZOSITY

I Love my Mac and the cows love shameless plugs.

Now go buy a t-shirt. :D

Cheney Goes to Brrreeeport

Come visit us in the midst of beautiful relaxation and simiplicty. Where bees are buzzin and men are sippin' top notch beer. Brrreeeport is the place to be...

Yes, my fellow surfers, Brrreeeport is the place to be. A land filled with lush green meadows and half naked ladies who prance freely the whole day through. YOU, should come to Brrreeeport too!

Thats the hidden truth behind the horrid mishap of our dear friend Mr. Dick Cheney. Yes, my blog happy friends. The truth is... Cheney was out and about, enjoying his time on a lavish vacation in good ol' brrreeeport. Daily massages and bottomless glasses of white zin. He enjoyed nightly story time with hip hopping hoppers and afternoon tea n crumpets. He dear ol' Dick was having a grand old time.

And then.. the vacation ended. His heart sank back into the hum drum of daily decisions and dutifilled productivelessness. Sad and stiff, he went decided a little hunting jaunt would do him good.

I think we all know...

he was wrong.

Snortlebeans and Twiddledorks

Some moments ago I was questioning the origin of
brrreeeport being the test word.
I just had a lovely idea...
Rather than question and wonder and whine,
I'm gonna (going to, dear sirs) be proactive in the creative thinking pep rally dept.

I invite you to comment... add your own suggested word of choice.

Sure, feel free to spam, I will delete you. Friendly Hellos and happy words of weirdness are dandy.. viagra and all her hard headed friends will get you ousted.

The task at hand, if you had to invent a word,
what would the word be? - NO definition required.

Snortlebeans anyone?

Ready, Set, GO... (psst, pass it on!)

BlogaLicious Baby!

Brrreeeport OR BUST!

So I was wondering around looking for inspiration for ponderable thoughts so I roamed over onto a friend's blog talking about brrreeeport. Really, to be honest, I didn't take notice of the actual writing as the headline had me envisioning mini bree wheels(yes, the cheese) doing the go daddy dance. You know "go brrreeeport .. go brrreeport.. go". Quite disturbing (the possiblity of my mind being that distorted, not the vision).

So I decided my desparately needing a nap brain could use some fun skimming time. I ended up on technorati in search of more brrreeeport. I was amazed at the amount of babble going on. (yes, I'm sittin' here babblin now, but there's a point... comeon, focus here)

From what I'm gathering, a smiley guy named Robert Scoble instigated this entertaining test.(note, if he is not his own banner, I can not label him as smiley. but for now, we'll assume he is he who is indeed smiley) Without digging at all, I happened upon Tips for joinging the A list, (my thinking it was)totally off topic, but showing up in the listing of level headed, or supposedly worth reading folk. Seeing as how I'm easily distracted and even more easily amused... I read on.
What a neat little quest this brrreeeport journey is. How fast can we go? -- ohhhhhhhh... hi ho the dairy->OH, I'm usually the one who's so damn slooooooaOH!

Anyway, then I remembered I was brrreeeporting it, so I headed back out to skim headlines and pick another. I don't usually pay attention to authors, i just click. An LO and BEHOLD... there is Mr. Robert Scoble's smiley banner again. Apparently this man has things to talk about. This time, THE Official Brrreeeport Report. Yeeehaw! I have gotten myself closer to the beginning of the story.

By now, I have stopped digging up brrreeeport history to write thoughts that I forgot i had to share and instead wrote what you just read....

up there.
:D

But, really I'd like to thank Mr. Scoble. He inspired me to stop whining about how to get on the A list. Cuz now I have a neat list of A list ideas to ponder. And boy, am I gonna ponder now!

By the way, I just wanna know, why brrreeeport? Sounds like a retirement locale. Why not schnizzleblat or hobbalobagook?
or snortlebean? Or one of my favors.. twiddledork ---> thats a nerdy type that likes to um.. twiddle.

Toodloo my fine not so feathered friends.

post editing note to self and all those to care to head the notice...
brrreeeport is extraoridinarily suseptible to typos. I'm am the world's worst proofreader, yet I tend to make the same errors consistantly Brrreeeport, on the otherhand, I found I had mis-typed 5 different ways... minimum.
Brrrport, breeeport, brrreport..... ACK what an awfully humbling word it tis.
